Description: Science is the ultimate parenting tool. After all, it's really about observing, asking questions, solving problems, making mistakes, and trying again and again and again -- just like being a mom or dad! Come along with Lynn Brunelle as she initiates you into the joys of geek-style parenting. A proud geek mom herself -- and a writer for the show Bill Nye, the Science Guy -- Lynn has had a love of science from the time she was a child. When she had her own kids, science became like a friend she could lean on for support, helping her make sense of the joy, pain, and uncertainty of parenting. Join her as she infuses her days with science, and shares it, in all its geeky wonder, with her kids.
